Since the tsunami hit beaches in Los Angeles and Orange counties around 2 a.m., police in several coastal cities reported no activity or calls for service to the water. Weather experts warned that fluctuations in the tide could continue Wednesday.

A small swell gently rocking the boats in Marina del Rey on Wednesday morning was a welcome sight following a tsunami advisory issued in the wake of a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Russia hours earlier.

While there was no widespread damage reported in California as of Wednesday morning, the effects of the tsunami will likely be felt along the coast throughout the day, with officials warning against getting close to the ocean. In Point Reyes, the weather service recorded 2-foot-high waves over 3 hours after the first waves arrived.
